Why I Built an Adversarial Co-Generation Engine
Short summary
GAUNTLEX is an open-source MIT-licensed tool that adversarially tests AI implementation specs before code is generated, using a Builder agent, a Breaker agent, and an Arbiter that scores resilience. It maps findings to CWEs and compliance controls like NIST SSDF, SOC 2, and HIPAA. The tool addresses a gap in spec-driven development where specs themselves go untested at modernization scale.
- •GAUNTLEX tests specs adversarially before code generation using Builder/Breaker/Arbiter agents
- •Findings mapped to CWEs and compliance frameworks (NIST, OWASP, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS)
- •Free, MIT-licensed, works with any model provider including local via Ollama
Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
Is this a good recommendation for you?
